Description
Feng Guan and co-authors catalog a defense gene family in bitter gourd and test one member against wilt fungus in a 2024 study. The vegetable doubles as medicine, yet its resistance machinery is little mapped. The SCPL gene family serves growth and defense roles across plants.
Thirty-two family genes were found, sorted into three classes, most carrying light, hormone, and stress response switches. Several switched on strongly after infection, mainly in resistant varieties. One, McSCPL22, sat in vessel tissue exactly where the fungus attacks and peroxide forms. Its behavior ties it to two hormone defense pathways. The authors flag it as a breeding target for wilt resistance.
